On Thin Ice
Yesterday I fell through the ice at Great Pond. For all of you that do not know Great Pond, it is, when the conditions are right, the most magical place on the planet, especially if you like ice skating. I was on the ice with my wife and friend Lisa. We had reached the other […]
2020 Best
2020 was a dark year for so many reasons but, for me, there was one person, above all others, that gave me hope. And I don’t use the word “hope” lightly. At one point I had brought my son to the ER 4 times in 5 days. I contacted his primary care provider on the […]

The Lumbery On TV?!?!?!
Channel 6 News Story They say don’t let a little fame go to your head. Well it’s too late. Our agent, as we speak, is trying to sell our manuscript titled “Captain Plant-it” to some major players. I mean you cannot spell Hollywood without WOOD!. We are destined for glamour. I presume my role would […]
Moose Slicer!
Local Sourcing-Lumbery Style!! Fact- We love stories. Did you know that the cordless chainsaw at Butler’s Cedar Shakes doubles as a moose slicer? Did you read about the fire at Yoder’s sawmill in Corinna last week? Probably not. Why would you? In fact I didn’t learn about it till I spoke with Jim yesterday. Connections […]
Oops. Rookie mistake.
On Friday I sent out a mailer proclaiming 30% off all in-stock lumber. My distributor called me 5 minutes later asking…”Do you know what you’re doing?” This is because lumber is traded on the commodities market and there has been a perfect storm brewing. Demand is high and inventory is low due to the pandemic […]
Beer Caddies are Back!!!

Then we spend months coming up with a proper business model…but as it turns out there is actually a greater need to have a proper transport container for your suds. […]
